He has been like a fine wine improving with age, unfortunately he is out of action for the June Test series. His snap drop goal vs. France was pretty awesome. Also had a try vs. Japan and his darting run past a couple of Tongans set up Mackenzie's try in that amazing game. I agree Sker can't beleive how long ago the RWC was seems like yesterday.Agree with Canucks and Run34 on Braid, he really was thrown into the fire against Georgia in only his 2nd cap. Boy did Tkachuk have a rough one that game, he was having injury issues all that season though and it wasn't too surprsing that he retired at the end of that year. We are dreadfully thin at FH for this tour though, Evans has to play out of position, or we throw one of the kids into the fire. The emergency options are Pritch and His Edness, I'm not sure yet whether Ed is available for all three games he frequently has issues with getting time off work. I don't think the Georgian scrum will be nearly as dominating this June as it was last time round in November 2010, as Psychic stated several key Georgian players are out of action. And we can't discount the improvement in our scrummaging, ever since the IRB launched that scrum clinic for us in the spring of last year the improvment has been pretty dramatic.I'm still a little worried about our Hooker situation and Cudmore not being around will be a blow but I think Hotson will fit in quite nicely. Marshall is now going to be available and Buydens has played solidly for some time now. Mackenzie was tracked by London Wasps around the time of the RWC, but wasn't picked up hopefully they might give him another look, or at least another RFU Championship team could give him a shot. Hotson is also looking for another club, and it looks like the search is going well but details haven't been released yet.I hope the other games are televised, it would be pretty annoying to have the one I'm going to be the only one shown, I'm still up in the air about going to Kingston, obviously can't make it to Burnaby. They might be streamed by Rugby Canada but that often has it's share of technical issues. TSN and TSN2 don't have their schedules posted yet, if an American channel is showing Canada vs. USA I can't see a Canadian channel not picking up the simulcast or vice versa.Edit: It's possible that TSN may not be offering the games on the mobile platform but just on standard TV, have to keep our eyes on the schedule, TSN the main network will be showing EURO 2012 during the Canada vs. States game so TSN2 is the only option there. Sportsnet also has there programming for this Saturday released and it's not there(I was thinking TSN was the probable channel but was worth a look)</blockquote>
